Abstract
In described examples, an isolated DC-DC converter includes: an input node for receiving an input voltage; a transformer including a primary side having first and second terminals and a primary side ground; and first and second low-side switches. The first low-side switch is coupled between the first terminal and the primary side ground. The second low-side switch is coupled between the second terminal and the primary side ground. A first voltage is across the first low-side switch, and a second voltage is across the second low-side switch. Also, the isolated DC-DC converter includes first and second high-side switches. The first high-side switch is coupled between the first terminal and the input node. The second high-side switch is coupled between the second terminal and the input node. Further, the isolated DC-DC converter includes a switch controller.
